Senior Data Engineer

New York, NY

About J2 Health:

At J2 Health, we know that healthcare is complicated and falls short of what consumers deserve. J2 wants to change that by focusing on transforming a critical and underserved part of the healthcare ecosystem– provider networks. As individuals, it’s difficult to find the right doctor that meets our medical and personal needs, at affordable costs. Doing their best with unreliable data and disjointed manual processes, healthcare organizations struggle with this too as they decide which doctors should be included in-network on our health insurance plans. 

J2 Health brings together best-in-class data and purpose-built software to enable healthcare organizations to optimize provider network performance. We use our technology and data-driven insights to power healthcare’s best networks and deliver the highest value care to patients. We’re a team of industry insiders, data experts, and technologists, backed by leading VCs like Tiger Global and Primary Ventures. Having successfully found product-market fit, we are scaling our solution that is already delivering measurable value to healthcare providers. We are looking for like-minded team members who are not afraid to get their hands dirty and are interested in building a mission-driven healthcare company where data is the key to unlocking better outcomes.

  • Familiarity with GIS tools and technologies is a plus

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
